Definitely depends on what your trip involves. Planning on stopping and going a lot? Or parking for a week at a time and staying in the same place?
If you stop and go, I love the coach. Much easier for me to pick up and go each day. Plus with kids, which I have, the motorhome is a MASSIVE bonus. Bathroom on board, drinks and snacks in the kitchen, DVD/TV easily available. The kids would rather me take the RV to the grandparents (a 2 hour drive) than take our car.
If you plan on parking for a while, the TT/5er is the way to go. Just drop off the TT and it's your house and truck.
One thing I would really look at if you go the RV route...smaller RV. I have a 30ft with a wife and 2 kids. It's obviously plenty large but we would be much better suited with a 24-26ft with a slide. Still plenty of area to sleep and lounge. And just an easier drive. Yellowstone in the summer was the toughest for us just to get around as some of the areas are pretty tight but it wasn't a nightmare by any means. Plus it's easier to drive 70mph in a smaller RV!
